Following a gout diet is the best non-medical defense against gout. By precisely following a diet specific for gout sufferers, you can minimize the attack you experience and the symptoms you suffer from simply with the foods you eat. If you suffer from gout, your physician might prescribe a specific diet that you should follow, or recommend you to a nutritionist. Of course, you might have sought the diet on your own and found it on the internet. Regardless of how you came upon the diet, in order to minimize pain and attacks, or even prevent the condition, a special diet may be necessary.

This could mean eliminating some of your favorite foods, but in the end, it will be a very healthy choice for your body. Another great line of defense in gout is eating healthy, regularly. This means not only when you are having an attack, but even when you are feeling good. By implementing a gout diet in your everyday life, as well as that of your family, you will find that avoiding the unhealthy foods easier and a lot less distressing.

You can still enjoy some of your favorite foods while following a gout diet; it is just recommended that you avoid foods that have high proteins such as fish and meat. Some recommended foods include white bread, cakes, tapioca, flour, pasta, and cornflakes. Eggs, cheese, milk, and other dairy products are also recommended. Healthy vegetables such as green veggies, tomatoes, and lettuce are included. You will want to avoid mushrooms, cauliflower, asparagus, oatmeal, spinach, and any beans.

You can enjoy any soups such as creamed vegetable and vegetable, as well as Jell-O, sweets, and sugar. Peanut butter, nuts, and fruits are highly recommended and most fats are suitable, unless you are currently experiencing an attack. Fatty foods are more difficult for the body to digest, so you want to keep with easily digested foods. Most beverages, except for those with alcohol are also acceptable, such as cocoa, coffee, tea, and sodas.

As you can see, following a gout diet is not so bad; in fact, you may find that you prefer the diet over many of the unhealthy, regular foods you have been eating.
